This scarf is light and airy, good for warm climates on cool days. The pattern is a version of the Seaman’s Scarf (Stahman’s Shawls & Scarves), yarn Noro Sekku, needles KnitPicks Options US6.

Now, about this Noro Sekku yarn. It’s 50% cotton, 17% wool, 17% nylon, and 16%silk. It breaks, twists upon itself, and ties itself in knots. I’ve tried pulling the yarn from the outside of the ball and the inside (the inside is better). Every time I knit with a Noro yarn I pledge not to do it again… and then I am seduced by those beautiful Noro colors.
